I've been in the US for 10 years because of the pay difference. Perks I'm over. I really don't care, I can buy my own perks with the pay. I've saved up enough to buy quite the lifestyle back in Canada, and I plan to move back before I start a family. I'm just a few months from getting my green card, and I'm genuinely over it.

I can't imagine raising kids in the US. The healthcare, oof. Even having kids, maternal mortality is 4X higher in the US than it is in Canada - among the worst in the OECD, and rising, while the rest of the OECD is falling. [1] Healthcare is just about the worst in the OECD along every major metric, even though it's by far the most expensive. [2]

The capital was just insurrected, is currently a military encampment, the school shootings/drills, the school metal detectors, the homeless, the riots, the lack of community. The general lack of progressivism. My street was looted a few months ago. Every business was walled off in plywood before the election. I mean, America doesn't really have a "left," just a center-right and a far-right, which really doesn't align with my personal politics. I'm not sure how I'd explain any of that to my kids.

I plan to go back in the next year or two - likely to BC, and I'll try to shore up the startup ecosystem there, investing, advising, and raising awareness of principals and practices.

After all, I graduated with no student debt. It's time to give back.

Judging by the "twitter storms" that get reported in the media twitter seems to have quite a political bias already.
Disclaimer: I've never founded anything that required investment nor have I joined any companies that made a significant exit, though I have been involved in creating material used to attract investors as well as meetings to discuss funding rounds in places I was involved with, some of which were successful in achieving that goal.

I'd say that no, it wouldn't hurt you. Everyone fails more often than succeeds, and being in such a list shows that you have presumably a higher amount of connections and experience than someone who is not there. With failure also comes learning, which is something that should be kept in mind. Additionally the fact you have failed before (and learned from it) and are still going at it shows resilience and determination.

Do take my thoughts with a grain of salt given I'm involved in the European/Latam scenes which may function differently from the SV scene.
This is an excellent question with no easy answer. Drosophila is one model organism for which we know something about how expression of specific genes leads to developmental structure [1] but there is a lot still unknown, not just for Drosophila but also for cellular differentiation [2] more generally.

imagine if you used list[index] where index would be calculated

if you misscalculated something and went on negative, then you'd have big exception/error, but when negative indices are viable, then the code will work fine

But, what exactly do these APIs do that would make chromium , and open source browsing, "no longer viable"? A browser works perfectly fine without bookmark sync, and apparently that's the most painful API to remove.
perhaps because they are afraid?
Show of Hands were my introduction to the UK folk scene so I'll always have time for them. They typically have some great support acts too, with friends from the US and Canada often coming across to tour like Richard Shindell.

England and Wales in particular have a habit of losing the history of the countryside, and folk songs are one of the only ways it seems to persist. And I love how current artists are both falling back on their experiences but also doing their own research into old, forgotten tunes and songs to bring life back into them and make them relevant again.
Once the process is started with simple life evolution just causes complexity as a rule. I think people who can't believe evolution made us from "nothing" have never really tried to understand the time frame in which it happend, which is a really long time.
Not sure if "dangerous" per se, but the OP's comment about having made millions leveraging on SPY and QQQ over the course of 100+ trades doesn't check out, given that a few days back, they created this throwaway account to complain about finding it hard to quit their job at Amazon because the pay is so good.

What kind of data is this?

My best guesses are

- either it is SAAS in which case shard it should make sense to shard by customer

- or it is something-to-consumer (social networking?) on which case I guess you'll have to take a step back and see if you can sacrifice one of your current assumptions

It seems that it actually cannot be used for such small systems. README states that this compiles to 160kB. But i agree with your point, unless theres some OS on board, using JS is probably too restricting.
One example is that obscenity laws stopped being enforced in some states as authorities gave up on trying to stop internet pornography.

That's maybe not the best example for making a pro-liberalization case, as pornography isn't exactly a public good, but it's what comes to mind as a clear case of the legal strategy employed by the state changing due to new technology.
Its not just that, the series feels disingenuous. Like nothing can go right for the main characters, ever. Whenever they achieve something, they have to be knocked down. Never once in the series did anyone have a moment of happiness which is not punished. Like, as soon as you get your exit money, BAM brain problems! Successfully convert a idle mainframe into a time share business, NOPE it will be stolen from you.

I feel like they are conflating sadness with grit and unnecessarily concentrating only on the sad/difficult parts. As a counter example, look at breaking bad or better call saul. Breaking Bad is perhaps the most successful prestige show since Sopranos (I think it might be even more successful if only looked at commercially). But the show has fun with its universe. Even The Wire, which is a show about everything that can go wrong with the city has moment which feel human and are not sad/difficult.
I don't get why these APIs are so essential that Chromium loses its value. Why would a browser need an API in the first place? I get conveniences like bookmark sync, and security features like avoiding malware domains, but one doesn't _need_ these to function, it's just somewhat more convenient or secure.
I think most of the engineering has moved towards things like Cargo for Rust or Go for Golang.

That kind of depends if you are discussing something objective or not. Wikipedia seems to have developed a strong left wing bias on anything political these days.

I'm mainly a Firefox user, but there are two cases when I fall back to another browser (Brave, in my case):
- I have to maintain two MS Teams account for the professional reasons. I use one account in the electron app, one in the Brave. So Brave is just a Teams client... (if somebody knows a better solution to handle multiple Teams accounts on desktop, I would be grateful for any tips)
- I have so many privacy/security enhancing extensions in Firefox, that some pages render/work incorrectly. I'm too lazy to disable the extensions, so in case I really need such a page, I switch to Brave.

Otherwise Firefox is more than enough, I would say more - it's better IMHO than currently available chromium clones.

Donna is presented as quite gifted and competent pretty much all the time, yes, but to say that Gordon isn't is a bit of an oversimplification.

Donna's genius is tempered and tamed; she spends most of season 1 being "The Adult" because she has to. Gordon is indeed presented as struggling both with being a doormat and lacking inspiration at times, even being saved by Donna's inspiration in some cases, but he more than makes up for it over time in the show. They don't stop (mostly unfairly) shitting on him throughout until maybe season 3 or thereabouts, however.
>Almost nothing in IT has been new for the past 30 year

eermm !

- iPhones came out in 2007 and it took maybe 5 years for mass adoption of mobile devices to do work tasks (see iPads in bank branches as an example). This is new.

- This year the workforce in much of the world has gone from 90% in the office to 99% at home. This is new.

- Data bases have gone from 10's MB to 1000's of GB, and from scores of tables to tens of thousands of tables.

- Cloud computing; when was it that your company outsourced it's entire IT infrastructure? I bet it wasn't 30 years ago!

- Outsourcing itself, 30 years ago very few people had lumps of their IT done by SI's, this is a huge change that everyone has just got used to.

- Security and tfa and firewalls and all that jazz: 30 years ago this was all terribly naive and often implemented with airgaps. I remember one project doing billing automation at a power utility where we installed networking, workstations (in branches) and built a completely independent network out from the mainframes. It did not touch the internet, sign on was via user name and password only with no changing policy. I don't even remember seeing a security policy!

- End user consumption; this is big. 30 years ago the c-suite never saw emails. Their secretaries printed them out. Execs didn't type, or look at screens. There was a weekly report and it was given out on friday, reviewed at the weekend and discussed / actioned monday morning. Now every exec has a notebook, and a phone (see above) they want dashboards, they want to explore the data themselves - and they do do that (often badly). Their level of interaction and requirement from IT is orders of magnitude different from 30 years ago.

- Lack of cash. Every company outside China with the exception of FAANGS has had the cash squeezed out of it by investors in the last 30 years. 30 years ago utilities and investment companies sat on what (in hindsight) were rivers of cash. Funding was so heavy that there were special offices set up to oversee it's dispersal (who else remembers central program offices?) Now projects are managed in line and are part of 0 build budgets (start every year with everyone on 0 budget and make them make the case to add $1 at a time). It is incredible to think of how we used to act in projects and how empowering and facilitating of progress and quality it was - but also how expensive. People would think nothing of spending 10 or 20 times their yearly salary on machines and software - there was no motivation to imagine what else could be done with the cash! Of course all that spending floated great chunks of the economy along with the spend going into other peoples pockets. It was another world.
We built a new semantic database first in university and then commercial open source (TerminusDB). We use the web ontology language (OWL) as a schema language, but made two important - practical - modifications: 1) we dispense with the open world interpretation; and 2) insist on the unique name assumption. This provides us with a rich modelling language which delivers constraints on the shapes in the graph. Additionally, we don't use SPARQL, which we didn't find practical (composability is important to us) and use a Datalog in its place (like Dataomic and others).

Our feeling on interacting with the semantic web community is that innovation - especially when it conflicts with core ideology - is not welcome. We understand that 'open world' is crucial to the idea of a complete 'semantic web', but it is insanely impractical for data practitioners (we want to know what is in our DB!). Semantic web folk can treat alternative approaches as heresy and that is not a good basis for growth.

As we came from university, I agree with comments that the field is too academic and bends to the strange incentives of paper publishing. Lots of big ideas and everything else is mere 'implementation detail' - when, in truth, the innovation is in the implementation details.

There are great ideas in the semantic web, and they should be more widespread. Data engineers, data scientists, and everybody else can benefit, but we must extract the good and remove ideological barriers to participation.

What are intensive outpatient programs?
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are concerned with treatment of various kinds of disorders, whether it is about eating disorders, alcohol, drug addiction, substance addiction or addiction of any other kinds, In IOP, better and intensive care provided to those patients who are not easily treatable through other measures of detoxing, normal medication etc.

Actually, the 'backspace' setting only governs what the backspace key does in Insert mode. In Normal mode, which is what I was referring to in GP, has the behavior I describe regardless of how 'backspace' is configured.
The hashcash proof-of-work scheme that bitcoin uses is vulnerable to Grover's quantum search algorithm, that can find a solution in the 2^76 search space for the current target difficulty in roughly sqrt(2^76) = 2^38 quantum hashing steps, for a 2^38 factor speedup.

Other proof-of-work schemes (e.g. finding cycles in graphs [1]) are not vulnerable to quantum speedup.

As others have also mentioned, the biggest sin the show commits is having the main characters invent so much. It's certainly not unknown for a person or a group that innovate in multiple fields but for them to innovate in so many was a bit of a stretch but one that was acceptable for storytelling purposes.

An alternate could have been to fade characters in and out over the seasons. Joe and Gordon are the stars of the PC-clone season, with Cameron and Donna playing supporting roles. In the Online Services season, Cameron and Donna step forward while Joe and Gordon become secondary characters and characters such as Yo-Yo and Tom increase their presence. Season three could have had Cameron and Donna fall back to secondary characters while Yo-Yo and Tom became the main characters in creating a what would essentially be something like Sierra Online or Electronic Arts. Each season could have introduced a new period of tech and introduced new minor characters that would be the center of the next season. For continuity, the common thread in all of the companies could have been Boz, moving from company to company in a sales and business development role.

This way the show could have continued on though to present day and even taken a branch here and there during periods of higher than typical innovation. The big downside is that you end up rotating out some very talented actors. All of the main cast of the show as filmed were really good and it would have been a shame to lose that but the storytelling would have been better for it.

> It's a fine browser

I wouldn't exactly argue that chrome is any better, but firefox isn't a good browser either. It's neither minimalistic, nor does it have many features and it most certainly isn't easily to customize.

I've been an Opera user from version 12 (the last good opera) up to twenty-something, then switched to vivaldi a few years ago and never looked back.

Even just in the current development version, vivaldi is getting support for calendars, mail and rss right in the browser, adding to the already present notes feature. What does firefox do in terms of UX innovation? Ant they certainly don't seem to be pumping that money into the under-the-hood components either, seeing how they still haven't managed to get @property working.

Firefox is turning into the next internet explorer and it's not even googles fault. It's sad, but completely deserved.
I fully take all your (excellent) points about the differences between the erg and the boat, but I was really talking about power measurement at the flywheel.

One point of yours though:

While everyone obsesses over watts, that's not the whole picture. To move a boat (virtual or real) you need work, not power

You are correct, but just for one stroke. The thing slowing down a boat or spinning flywheel is drag, which is a power dissipator. => Generating more power means you overcome more drag == go faster.

cf. when you take the rate up by reducing the time on the recovery while keeping work/stroke the same. Your speed increases as your rate of (the same) work increases.

edit: Also, forgot to mention this

Concept sells "Sliders" for the C2 ergs that you can use for a single erg but also to link together multiple ergs to a crew. If you haven't tried this, I can highly recommend this as it makes it much more realistic and also a lot more challenging.

I have had the privilege of running a mixed machine learning cluster at almost this scale (5000 nodes). I would never dream of doing it on K8s. Its just not really designed to run at the this scale usefully, simply or cheaply. Especially if you have complex jobs(ie you have a bunch of dependencies, run this task before that).

On AWS we used batch. It runs a docker image on a machine. it takes care of all the machine prep, scheduling and error handling.It scales simply, secrets are built in (using parameter store) and you can have EFS/lustre for file access.

You will however need to make a job description language, but that's trivial (mine is a 500 line lambda)

Its not as nice to use as tractor/alfred/deadline, but it works, and doesn't need a team of devops to keep it running optimally.

K8s has some appeal (widespread adoption) but its still not really a HPC workload system. It's networking scheme is just insane (and chatty as fuck, just look at the graphs, almost 10gigs in control traffic, on AWS if you're running in multiple az, thats about $150 an hour just in transfer alone)
